what did president obama say? "one vision has been championed by republicans in the house of representatives. it's a plan that aims to reduce our deficit by $4 trillion over the next ten years, but the way this plan achieves that goal would lead to a fundamentally different america than the one we've known throughout most of our history this is a vision that says up to 50 million americans have to lose their health and insurance in order for us to reduce the deficit and who are those 50 million americans? many are someone's grandparents who wouldn't be able to afford nursing home care without medicaid, many are poor children, some are middle-class families who have had their children with autism or down's syndrome. these are the americans we'd be telling to fend for themselves." so this is a level of debate we're in in washington, that when congressman ryan deals honestly with the challenges we face, that tighten the belts across the board, created a mechanisms to enhance american growth and job creation, this is
